Over the years, the thermite reaction has been used for welding railroad rails, in incendiary bombs, and to ignite solid-fuel
rocket motors. The reaction is:
Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s)⎯→ 2 Fe(l) + Al2O3(s)
⎯
(a) What masses of iron (III) oxide and aluminum must be used to produce 15.0 grams of iron? (21.5, 7.26)
(b) What is the maximum mass of aluminum oxide that could be produced? (13.7)
those are the answers in parenthesis but I need the work. Please help me out.
